President Higgins has been called out on some social media comments as “running scared” from the competition after it’s been revealed that the sitting President will only appear in two of the four televised debates.
One comment said “The pint-sized President is afraid of the others”.
Higgins will appear on one RTE and one Virgin Media debate but will not appear on the other two scheduled tv debates.
Other than Higgins, Sean Gallagher said he’ll only appear when Higgins appears – so presumably he’ll only appear in two of the four tv debates too.
